Note: photos of Tel Aviv beach are already available publicly [Google search] under a Creative Commons license that may allow similar composite images to be made, even without me having had to travel there. This blog already has a number of composite images, including photos of people who have not met or physically seen me, and who likely don’t know about their use in such images, as a result of their appearance in a photo published under an according license.
Other rights do exist, as well as interpersonal and cultural considerations and tastes, but there are photographers (not all) who encourage their works to be altered and changed – like with music. That includes in private and public spaces.
If people can’t explain their actions and boundaries, other people can do so within that vacuum. On the other side of rights are obligations and I may not want my photo taken, but does that obligate another not to do so? How are opposing points-of-view reconciled regarding self-image in a dualistic world?
On another level, perhaps the photographer and subject are even one and the same.
I was using a Canon G9X M2 from early 2017 onward, a pocket camera, and taking photos was part of my journey, and the same journey would’ve taken place whether I had it or not. I didn’t even need to (fully) stop to take photos and its high resolution meant I could frame subjects later in editing if need be. This has already been mentioned in this post. Walking along the beach was important for grounding to the earth.
It had a touch focus/shutter and could be used with one hand.
